Noted 
4 countires in those stats
London population is as good as 9m. Add in Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland and death rate is ‘inline’ with other Nations. Not good though and I expect this to go over 1k daily when England regions start. Local nurse has been briefed and this stated UK is 6-7 weeks til peak!
UK death stats are also taking into account nursing homes / home fatalities at this early stage in counting - they’re updated up to a week later but still in that total.

So Apple and google will have apis in may for contract tracing in their mobile devices using low energy Bluetooth that health organizations can tap into. This is good news. If we can have a foundational tracing mechanism and ever get testing up to a decent level, we can start getting things turned back on.
(Even non Apple news link)
Is this what you are looking for?

’World was warned of global pandemic’
The former director general of the World Health Organisation (WHO), Dr Gro Harlem Brundtland has been talking to BBC Radio 4 about what she says is the lack of “preparedness of the world” for a global pandemic.
Mrs Brundtland, who was the first female prime minister of Norway, is co-chair of the WHO and World Bank’s Global Preparedness Monitoring Board, who published a report in September 2019 warning of a “highly lethal pandemic”.
“What we have now is a warned catastrophe," she said.
“We saw big alarming gaps in the preparedness of the world and found compelling evidence of a very real threat.”
“It’s not too late but we have to deal with the fact we are already in this now, which means putting emphasis on mobilising funding and (placing) attention on getting the equipment that is needed."

The 1918 Influenza epidemic began in Japan in late August 1918 and became a national epidemic in November. Experts believe it entered Japan through a group of sumo wrestlers returning from Taiwan (a colony of Japan at the time). Because of this, for a while, people in Japan called it the ‘sumo flu.’
Bastards… My mum just quoted them “Why you telling me and you’re dad to wear a mask when it’s not government advice”
The’ve been gardening all day, out walking and shopping… Over 19 people dying litterly yards away=no big deal.

In my facebook derposphere Dr. Shiva is trending. I think Dr. Shiva recommends high doses of Vitamin A and Vitamin D to combat Covid. He may or may not also recommend essential oils.
Do you research! Watch Youtoobz!
If the mask won’t alter their behaviour then the mask is worth it.
There’s 6 of us here, 4 of which are under 10yrs and have been locked down to home only since 17 March. If / when I go out for supplies (weed) I’ll be wearing an N95.
If they will think I can do an extra trip to the grocery each day because mask makes me invincible, then probably best not to recommend the mask.
IMO
And remember, we’re talking medical masks not t-shirts
Now they have the Sumo Flu Two aka the Sumo Flu Too aka the Sumo Flu Also
Yeah, I have a friend who has become a health nut and has posted that Dr. Shiva’s videos.
They assured me it was the only day they went shopping, to the west end 
were the fish shop is, you know.
And then to aldi’s etc… Anyways my advice seems to be counter productive so I’m a send them this instead…
